Black Water
(M) [2h00]
"One of the best minimalist shockers since the divers-meet-sharks movie Open Water." **** The Independant "Superb cinematography, a great sense of place and an eerie sound score are the mainstay of this horror story set in the mangroves of Northern Australia and whatever the film lacks in budget, more than makes up for it in atmosphere...It's tense and terrifying as a simple outing becomes a fatal nightmare." urbancinefile

(M) [2h30]

It's diverting and it's unique." Variety

The Painted Veil
(M) [2h30]
Won Golden Globe.

The Other Bowelyn Girl
(M) [2h15]
"The Other Boleyn Girl is a cinematically told, sumptuous historic drama...Natalie Portman delivers perhaps her best performance to date, rich & layered, complex with all the qualities that make us humans so damned irritating yet likeable. So enjoyable are Portman & Johansson's feisty performances, we can forgive a few inconsistencies...Beautifully designed & superbly shot, the film is blessed with a marvellous & tasteful orchestral score." urbancinefile "Shamelessly good fun, a chocolate truffle of a movie!"

The Music Within
(M) [2h00]
"“Music Within,” the decidedly ‘70s-flavored true story of Richard Pimentel, the motivational speaker and writer who helped pass the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, convincingly delivers the message that disabilities are everyone’s concern...the film might tread a bit heavily on the moral outrage. But Micheal Sheen is remarkable...He’s utterly convincing, and the humanity he brings to the part only helps drive home the film’s social issues." Variety

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly
(M) [2h15]
"Bracingly unsentimental & yet powerfully energising, a triumph of imagination. Paradoxically, an adaptation of a still, quiet memoir of a paralysed man is the most dynamic film in many years!" NZ Herald *****

Hunting & Gathering
(M) [2h00]
"A warm-hearted, generous-spirited French comedy...Held together by some excellent performances, (Canet, director of the excellent thriller Tell No One that was in the Showcase festival, is great) every character - unlike Amelie and Irene - seems real. " NZ Herald ****

What Happens in Vegas
(M) [2h00]
There is never any doubt as to where the story is heading, but it's fun watching Diaz and Kutcher go through the paces. Director Tom Vaughan keeps the pace snappy and slides the tempo up and down as required. I had a good time with this upbeat mainstream comedy that never pretends to be anything other than what it is - and that's fun." urbancinefile
